这本及时的手册汇集了规划、灾害应对和灾害管理领域，就如何使社区具有抗灾能力提供了经过实地测试的过程。我们如何规划和设计更强大的社区？遭受自然灾害袭击的社区在第一批救援人员离开后很久仍在努力恢复。在全球范围内，自1980年以来，年均自然灾害数量增加了一倍多。随着海平面上升和气候变化的其他影响，这些灾难的数量和规模都在增加，造成了更大的破坏。社区可以通过变得更有弹性来减少对灾难的脆弱性，不仅要更容易地从灾难中恢复过来，而且要变得更强大，更有社会凝聚力，对环境更负责任。为了具有真正的复原力，备灾和灾后恢复必须考虑到社区中的所有人口。通过将自然灾害规划和社区规划结合起来考虑脆弱性，可以实现更具弹性和公平的社区。在《社区复原力规划》一书中，作者描述了创建抗灾社区的包容性过程。本手册指导任何社区确定其危险暴露程度、身体脆弱性和社会脆弱性的程度，以确定最佳规划战略。对于致力于保护社区免受干扰的专业人士来说，这将是一个无价的工具。
This timely handbook brings together the fields of planning, disaster response, and hazards management to provide a field-tested process on how to make communities disaster-resilient. How can we plan and design stronger communities? Communities struck by natural disasters struggle to recover long after the first responders have left. Globally, the average annual number of natural disasters has more than doubled since 1980. These catastrophes are increasing in number as well as in magnitude, causing greater damage as we experience rising sea levels and other effects of climate change. Communities can reduce their vulnerability to disaster by becoming more resilient, to not only bounce back more readily from disasters but to grow stronger, more socially cohesive, and more environmentally responsible. To be truly resilient, disaster preparation and recovery must consider all populations in the community. By bringing together natural hazards planning and community planning to consider vulnerabilities, more resilient and equitable communities are achievable. In Planning for Community Resilience the authors describe an inclusive process for creating disaster-resilient communities. This handbook guides any community through the process of determining their level of hazard exposure, physical vulnerability, and social vulnerability with the goal of determining the best planning strategy. This will be an invaluable tool for professionals working to protect communities from disturbance.
